Meanest mom on the planet...

[Spirits Reborn]

Go mom. Its good that there are responsible parents like that out there- though I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to be in that situation.. or be that mom's son. lol

Teach to drink after learning to drive? Surely you kid, most of my senior hs class knew how to drink before they even touched the steering wheels of a car

You were drinking at 10? What has this world come to?

I'm referring to the legal precedence... that you can drive at 16 in the States, but drink at 21. In other places, you can drink much earlier, allowing young folks to figure out how to drink properly before they get behind the wheel...

IOW, the current plan in the States *encourages* people between 16 and 21 to drink covertly........

In other-otherwords, they never learn to enjoy their booze responsibly before hitting the road. Usually end up on the road sloshed, and worst-case scenario sloshing someone across the road.

Exactly, and said so much better than I feebly attempted to do...

Good for her! She may be the meanest to her son, but regarding this, she is the best!

Fair enough taking the car back off of him, but is there really any need to humiliate him? Running the ad for an extra week (even after selling the car) simply for the feedback?.. She could turn herself into the world's most unloved mum.

"Shock and Awe". He won't forget, and knows his mom will follow through in dealing with his b.s..

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. The mother is so stupid on SO many levels... what the hell is she thinking?

I'd expect my parents to take my car if I got caught with booze or whatever... but sell it? Publicly humiliate me? No freaking way.

If my parents tried pulling some stunt like this on me and thought I was funny, I'd trash the house, axe their computer, then drive off in one of their cars, leave it somewhere illegal, and take the metro or something home using their money. Know why? Because I'm a teenager, and I make mistakes. A parent's job is to teach and discipline me, but not to make me hate them. If this was my mother, I'd hate her.

Would you like that served on fine china, or gold with silver trim?
